Actually, you're already seeing the effects of the stock collapse in the rise of the real estate market. It is viewed as a safe haven for cash fleeing the stock market. However, this is a bubble as well--specially in California. My guess is that in 3-5 years if not sooner there will be a real estate crash if the fed raises interest rates and cripples first time buyers. This will trigger a chain reaction upwards. Seen it before -- 1991 to 1994 in california, beverly hills homes went down to as low as 50%.
